The storage capacity of concentrating solar power (CSP) can add significant value to a utility company’s optimal mix of energy sources, a new report by the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) suggests.
The report found that CSP with a six-hour storage capacity can lower peak net loads when the sun isn’t shining, enough to add $35.80 per megawatt hour to the capacity and operational value of the utility, compared to photovoltaic (PV) solar power...
Concentrated solar thermal and photovoltaic solar technologies have evolved independently for decades, and both are approaching "grid-parity" power prices in many applications today. This paper will explore the different situations where each technology succeeds or fails in today's electric power generation marketplace, specifically excluding non-electric applications such as solar hot water heating.

Thanks to the hard work of the more than 2,100 construction workers currently at Ivanpah, the world’s largest solar thermal energy project is more than 75% complete. Several new photos below show recent progress at the site and the workers who make it all possible.
The construction workers of Ivanpah have assembled, installed and welded their way to a project that is over three-quarters complete. Despite the early mornings, long days and late nights, the Ivanpah...
